A pizzeria-style favorite is easily made at home! You only need three ingredients to make this bread that your family is going to love. Serve with lasagna for a complete dinner!

Easy Pesto Bread

By now you know that I am all about making things easy when it comes to creating and sharing recipes. But it isn’t often that I share an entire easy meal from main dish to dessert! The beginning of a new school year can be a little chaotic because of new schedules. It’s an adjustment getting into a routine and the evenings can just be plain crazy. I was thrilled to work with the Nestlé brand on this post because I know that my readers love recipes that make their lives a little easier. And this entire meal is such a time saver! Even the Pesto Bread recipe I’m sharing today is incredibly easy. This is a great meal if you want to sit down and enjoy with your family without all the hard work of cooking and baking.

Nestlé Products

The secret to this easy meal is these fantastic Nestlé products. You can’t get much more family friendly right here! My kids were in heaven having a STOUFFER’S® Meat Lasagna for dinner with TOLL HOUSE® Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert and Nesquik to drink.

Nestlé Toll House Cookies

The cookie dough comes prepared and separated into chunks for you to take out and set right onto your cookie sheet. These cookies turn out perfectly!

Stouffer's Meat Lasagna

Pop the lasagna in the oven and in an hour or so you’ve got your main dish!

Nesquick with Dinner

My kids are always begging for Nesquik. It went really well with our lasagna and pesto bread meal!

Easy Pesto Bread

This Pesto Bread tastes like something that would come with your pizza at your favorite pizza place. And with only three ingredients, you’re going to want to make it every night with dinner!

Easy Pesto Bread

Simply cut the French bread loaf in half to make two separate half loaves. Then spread the pesto evenly over both halves and top with cheese. Pop it in the oven on broil and in just minutes you’ve got your tasty side dish! Here’s a tip: Make things super easy and buy everything for this recipe pre-made. Walmart has wonderful French bread loves right in the bakery. And no need to make fresh pesto or grate your own cheese!
